Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Hath there come unto thee tidings of the Overwhelming? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Labouring (hard), weary,- 3 They will enter in the hot blazing Fire, 4 and will be made to drink from a fiercely boiling spring. 5 no food for them except thorny plants 6 which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 in a sublime garden, 10 wherein thou wilt hear no empty talk. 11 therein a running fountain, 12 raised couches, 13 And cups put in place 14 And cushions set in rows, 15 and well spread carpets. 16 Do they never reflect on the camels and how they were created, 17 And the heavens, how it was raised high; 18 And the hills, how they are set up? 19 And the earth, how it is made a vast expanse? 20 So render good counsel, for you are simply required to counsel, 21 Thou art not at all a warder over them. 22 But whoso is averse and disbelieveth, 23 God shall chastise him with the greatest chastisement. 24 For to Us will be their return; 25 then upon Us shall rest their reckoning. 26
